Heart Rate Variability as Biomarker for Prognostic of Metabolic Disease

Abstract

Lifestyle emerging diseases like obesity, metabolic syndrome (MeS), and diabetes mellitus are considered high-risk factors for lethal arrhythmias and side effects. A Poincaré plot is constructed with the time series of RR and PP electrocardiogram (ECG) intervals, using two stages: the new phase and the old phase. We proposed this diagram of two dimensions, a way to quantify and observe the regularity of events in space and time. Therefore, the heart rate variability (HRV) can be used as a biomarker for early prognostic and diagnostic of several metabolic diseases; additionally, this biomarker is obtained by a noninvasive tool like the electrocardiogram
